GET YOUR GREEN ON

You don’t need a green thumb to add a lush feel to your indoor space. From succulents to low care leafy foliage, we know which plants will work in your space, especially for those among us who can’t seem to keep their greenery alive!

WHAT TRENDS ARE UP SEEING WITH INDOOR PLANTS?
Grouped plants and vignettes (clustered items displayed together) are big for amateur and professional stylists. Succulents and cactus remain the most popular indoor plants, but medium to large tropical foliage plants such as banana palms, rhapis palms and maidenhair ferns in plant stands or interesting pots are just as popular. Texture is key, whether it’s in the foliage or the planter, for example copper, ceramic, glass and concrete.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING PLANTS INDOORS AT A HOME?
Many plants actually clean the air and improve health and stress levels. We believe indoor plants create a feeling of home, bring the outdoors in and look good! A vignette with a succulent, candle and a special photo, evokes treasured memories.

WHICH PLANTS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR HOME?
Anything hardy that doesn’t require a lot of work! We are all so busy, so having a forgiving plant that doesn’t stress if you forget to water it is a must. We love succulents and cactus.

ARE THERE PLANTS THAT WORK PARTICULARLY WELL IN A HOME OFFICE?
Indoor varieties of succulents work well as they don’t take up a lot of space. They can sit on a shelf or on your desk. Plants such as peace lilies, mother-in-law’s tongue, golden cane palm help purify the air and look good on the floor in a nice pot.

WHAT ARE YOUR TIPS FOR BUYING INDOORS PLANTS?
Avoid yellow or transparent leaves, which are signs of bad health. Remember baby plants will need a little bit more care than well established larger plants. It can take a week or so for a plant to adjust to its new surroundings. Know how often you should water your plant and stick to that time frame as best as you can. Set a reminder in your phone for a day that you know won’t be a busy one.
